Makes sense.

Mine is evidently not so severe as to REQUIRE all manner of adjustments.

I just know that if I go without sugar for too long I can get a headache and even dizzy if too much too long.

Actually, sugar is probably the worst thing you can eat when your blood sugar drops, as sugar causes a spike, which will then cause another rapid drop.

When you get a hunger headache, or get dizzy if you haven’t eaten for a long time, your best bet is to eat protein and a small amount of carbs. Half a banana and a slice of cheese, 4 oz of apple juice and some cottage cheese...and eat 4-6 small “meals” a day rather than three normal sized. Call it “snacking,” if you like.

Eat a regular meal in the evening, and for lunch, but not as much as you normally would, and eat the snacks in between, including between supper and bedtime. It will take a while to get adjusted to it, but you will feel better and lose weight in the meantime.

I try to keep cheese and hard-boiled eggs around, and not too much in the way of white breads/starches. The idea is to never allow yourself to get hungry.
